GOOD MORNING FROM THE 15th ANNUAL REVERE BEACH INTERNATIONAL SAND SCULPTING FESTIVAL!

While filming wildlife over the past week at Revere and Winthrop Beaches, it has been fascinating to see the sand sculptures taking shape for this weekend’s festive International Revere Beach Sand Sculpting exhibit and competition. The theme is “Celebrating Literacy,” and the sculptors have created interpretations of favorite works of literature written for children, teens and adults.  A storybook castle is the centerpiece of the exhibit. It’s all so beautifully ephemeral. The whimsical sculptures will be gone next week.

The festival begins today, Friday, July 20th and runs through Sunday, July 22nd. A ferris wheel and merry-go-round add to the fun, and a fireworks display over Revere Beach is scheduled for Saturday night. The event is free and open to the public. Attached is the complete schedule. For more information visit: http://reverebeachpartnership.com/

Helena Bangert of the Netherlands

Deborah Barrett/Cutulle of Saugus, Mass.

Mélineige Beauregard of Quebec, Canada

A break in the rain

On Tuesday around 5:00 the skies cleared for only an hour or so but it was beautiful at Magnolia Beach

New addition to Marshall Farm Stand

Alicia Unleashed- Summer Fun

  1. Episode 83: Recorded on location and poolside! Alicia and B-side are joined with the 1 and only Anna B.

You might follow her on Twitter, Insta, or you might be part of little known Facebook Page (you must listen to find out what).

Hot Plate: Lights Downtown, John Jerome at Studio this weekend, Espy Awards, Aly Raisman’s speech.

This episode is an OLD SCHOOL ALICIA UNLEASHED. We talk about so many things and so many circles. Dogs bark, neighbors talking, rando’s with loud mufflers.

We sit down and talk with Anna on how she got involved with this Facebook Page (great for lurking). We touch on a few specific posts that made the page more known. We ask where the line is drawn (spoiler alert…it’s like drawing one on the breakers at GHB), what is the page really meant to be about.

Anna is also a SOLO TRAVELER! She talks about how that started for her by meeting strangers through the BSB pen pal circuit (pre-social media). Anna discusses how she goes about seeing the most of these countries and cities and where she is off to next.

We also get in to Bossman Joey’s favorite! DATING! Anna talks about the troubles and tribulations she has had with dating, dating apps and just regular snapchat! We also give Tyler some straight up life lessons! START ‘EM YOUNG! Tyler also drops one of those Millennial Lines on us.

**Also, if you are a secret listener, that is perfectly fine you can hide in the shadows! We just want a rating on iTunes or Facebook (even a like)
